Egyptian Cotton

MY SHEETS ARE TATTERED.
THAT NEVER MATTERED
UNTIL HE KISSED
MY NECK THAT WAY.
IF I WERE HAVING
A BETTER YEAR,
I’D BUY NEW LINENS
STRAIGHTAWAY.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
IS SMOOTH AS SATIN.
TONIGHT, HE’LL SETTLE
FOR MY SOFT SKIN.
I’LL TURN MY SHEETS DOWN
AND SAY A PRAYER:
DON’T LET HIM SEE THEY’RE
WEARING THIN.

ALL I CAN GIVE IS
JUST ME, MYSELF, THIS
DEFENSELESS HEART.
WHEN WILL LOVE STAY?
IF I HAD NEW SHEETS
AND HE LEFT ME,
I’D HAVE SOME NEW SHEETS
ANYWAY.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
IS SMOOTH AS SATIN.
I BET HE’LL SETTLE
FOR MY SOFT SKIN.
I’LL TURN MY SHEETS DOWN.
HE’S A GOOD MAN.
OH, HE WON’T CARE THEY’RE
WEARING THIN
HE WON’T CARE THEY’RE
WEARING THIN
